Native Pearls are domed sterling silver beads that have a stamped concha or floral pattern around the top and bottom. These antiqued beads are referred to as "pearls", because of their traditional and classic use in Southwest jewelry and are a must have in today's business casual settings.

Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

Nice for the price!I bought this piece to wear with one of Carolyn's lapis enhancers. The beads are a good size, not too big, and I like how they alternate with the smaller beads. The enhancer fits over one of the smailler beads, and it is perfect. It also works by it self with a crisp white shirt. The only thing I didn't like is that it is strung on the jewelers' equivalent of fishing line. It didn't hang rignt and I thought it needed something sturdier, so I had it restrung on chain. That being said, if it had been strung on chain in the first place, it would have been closer to $299 for the same look. It may also catch your hair. That is not a design flaw, that is one of the things Native pearls do.

DifferentI like things that are different, this is the piece. I am from Nova Scotia so there aren't a lot of Native pieces. My eye was drawn to this piece. I was torn between this and the larger ones. I am petite so went with the smaller one, glad I did.
